The easiest method of home cleaning is ultrasonic. An ultrasonic sends sonic waves through a cleaning solution to literally vibrate the dirt off your jewelry. Every morning you can place your jewelry into the cleaner and in ten minutes it's ready to wear. You can buy an ultrasonic cleaner for under $50 at a specialty store. *NOTE: Not all ultrasonic cleaners are safe for all gemstones. Read the directions to be sure yours is safe for your jewelry. You can also clean your jewelry by hand. Purchase a plastic container with a lid (24 oz.), a bottle of Parson's Sudsy Ammonia, and a medium toothbrush. Fill the container with two parts water, one part ammonia. (Keep the lid on this solution - the fumes are pretty strong!) Each day, place the jewelry in this solution and let it soak for at least ten minutes. Take the jewelry out of the solution and scrub it with the toothbrush, making sure your scrub underneath as well as on top. Rinse with warm water, shake off the excess water, then dry with a lint-free cloth.
